CONDENSED PRESS COMMENT.
"Juny" is a lively story.—[Cincinnati Enquirer.
A racily written, exciting tale of the South.—[Portland Argus.
A dramatic story of southern life. It is full of incident.—[Albany (N.Y.) Express.
Vividly told, with a beautiful Octoroon as the central figure.—Harrisburg Telegram.
Entertaining romance of the "Society crust"—upper and under.—[Kansas City Journal.
More dramatic than "Creole and Puritan;" more genuine fun than "Rock or the Rye."—[Augusta News.
Showing varied phases of the great city, in the salon, the clubs and the slums.—[Syracuse Herald.
It is full of excitement and adventure and, on that score alone, will prove interesting—[Evening Wisconsin.
The plot is good; and the author's name sufficient guarantee for literary excellence.—[Columbus Despatch.
By a writer who has attained reputation, the romance will prove interesting reading.—[San Francisco Call.
A bright, readable story, full of action; the dialects true to life and the climax artistically managed.—[Toledo (O.) Bee.
There is much to be commended in "Juny," and the character of the heroine is certainly well drawn.—[Town Topics.
The characters are strongly drawn; and the story, sensational and romantic, has dramatic force.—[American Stationer.
From the author of "Creole and Puritan" and other stories; and is very bright and readable.—[Rochester Post-Express.
Above any Mr. DeLeon has yet written; and can be placed above the best work of modern times.—[New Orleans Picayune.
A book of merit. The author shows close acquaintance with Miss Murfree's dealing with the same class.—[Minneapolis Journal.
Contains many good situations and some striking types of life, of which the "Leading Man" is the most comic.—[The Bookseller.
Most ambitious of this author's works; containing a plot of thrilling interest and several new American types.—[Baltimore American.
Cleverly constructed and containing more than one good character. The reader who begins it will be sure to read it to the close.—[New York Sun.
Has been complimented very highly. It is very readable, the characters strong; and the plot contains many dramatic situations.—[Savannah News.
An exceedingly bright and cleverly written story; charmingly told; most especially felicitous in all that treats of southern character and life. The old negro is a masterpiece of genre sketching; and the Louisiana girl and her Octoroon mother are no less clean cut and graphic. Mr. DeLeon is the promising writer of the South. He knows his people and region thoroughly.—[Chicago Times.
A very romantic story. The book is sensational; but the skill with which the story is told saves it from being ridiculous.—[San Francisco Chronicle.
Most successful descriptive and character studies. Animated from the very first chapter; and once beginning, one can scarcely leave it.—[New Orleans Bee.
The sketch of moonshining life in the North Carolina mountains is, to say the least, clever. The author has made a distinct success in this.—[Hartford Post.
The devotion of the old negro for his "chile" and the affection springing up between her and Wilmot Browne are the features of the book.—[North American.
A highly exciting story of life, in widely differing circles. All of the bad characters are disposed of rapidly, but with a proper eye to effect.—[New York Herald.
Just the thing for the car or hammock; a lively novel, introducing many odd characters in many odd situations of high and low life.—[Minneapolis Housekeeper.
Well written and full of "situations," many of them wrought up to a point of thrilling interest. The many characters are drawn in natural colors.—[Brooklyn Citizen.
Mr. DeLeon has written several novels which had a run; but this one surpasses any in cleverness of plot, thrilling situations and general interest.—[Salt Lake Herald.
Brightness of dialogue and richness of incident. The suicide of the gambler is a startling effect; worthy of the imagination and descriptive power of Zola!—[Mobile Register.
The same authority pronounces "the leading man of the Grand Duke's Opera House" the most original type in comic fiction since we met Sam Weller.—[Denver Republican.
Some situations, especially those in the slums of the "East Side," are intensely dramatic. Juny and the characters that surround her are exceedingly well drawn.—[Philadelphia Times.
"Juny" is bright and sensational. * * The Mobile novelist is especially happy in his southern scenes and characters; but his plots have wide range and embrace high and low life.—[Atlanta Constitution.
T. C. DeLeon has recommended himself as a writer of talent and power. His latest work is perhaps his best, as his wit, his dramatic force and his striking ability for character drawing are all forcibly exhibited.—[Columbus (O.) Journal.
We have not read a better story for many a day. Mr. DeLeon has advanced rapidly to foremost rank among American novelists of the present day. The plot is skillfully framed and many thrilling, as well as humorous, situations keep the reader's mind alert.—[Chicago Herald.
T. C. DeLeon, whose "Rock or the Rye," a clever parody of Amelie Rives, was a decided success, has added "Juny" to the list of his novels; the scene changing from a moonshiner's camp to New York, with the heroine a beautiful Octoroon girl.—[San Francisco Argonaut.
Southern authors are coming to the front. Among those named more and more frequently of late is T. C. DeLeon. The story is as full of plot as it can hold; and if action plays as large a part in fiction, as Demosthenes averred it did in oratory, "Juny" should be a popular book.—[Boston Commonwealth.
Mr. DeLeon's "Creole and Puritan" proved most conclusively that he could write well; and his satire on the "Quick or the Dead" was laughed over by the whole country. The story of "Juny" shows the creative power of the author. It is strong and his descriptive powers have full sway.—[New Orleans Picayune.
The old negro and the detective, Mr. Hunter Beagle, seem to have been taken from life and are carefully elaborated. * * The "Art Evolutionist" is a very clever portrayal of the creature who is made possible by, and subsists upon, the fads for which the present century must ever remain responsible.—[Courier-Journal.
